chaperone in the room during certain exams. he was fired in 2016 for failing to do so. nassar was sentenced for up to 175 years in prison. today students at msu are planning to march to protest how the university handled the reports. the board will be meeting to discuss the resignation of the president and her replacement as well. reporting live in the digital operations center, i'm pamela osborn, nbc 10 news. the super bowl is big business for stores all across our region. eagles gear is selling at ab sports here in wilmington. they're also seeing a run on items from former players. eagles vans could be in store for a shock when they try to book super bowl lodging for airbnb. >> reports say people in minneapolis who use the site are being told not to rent out their
